    You start getting healthier and losing weight just by eating real food instead of American poison, living in NZ or any other country that cares for its citizens will do that for you

        It’s Lemmy. We’ve got to have at least one “America Bad” comment per thread, no matter how irrelevant.

          The best is when the core of what they’re saying isn’t completely wrong but they take it absurdly far in a weird direction

        The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️

            A lot of people in this thread acting like Gabes a regular old guy and not a literal billionaire.

              Well it’s ML so they just default to “the only food in America is literal dog shit!”

              Like, America has food deserts, and has a lot of processed options that are bad for you. But for most, normal natural food is available. For the wealthy, premium food is never ever an issue

        There have been account after account of people leaving the States for one reason or another (Military relocation, job placement, etc), monitor their diet and actually find that while they are technically eating more, they are losing weight.

        America’s got problems.

          Bullshit. The laws of thermodynamics will not be denied.

          Now, if you told me the American food industry was just lying about calorie content in the first place…

        Fruits and vegetables sprayed and watered with preservatives and pesticides at every step of its cycle that end up in our bodies without much long term study before approving it.

        NZ has McDonald’s and other similar trash but like most nations other than the us some restrictions and requirements are in-place and enforced to prevent corporations poisoning us for slightly improved profits
